    S4 Ep130 - Part 1. My HPV & Cervical Dysplasia Journey: Choosing Healing Beyond Fear

    In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I’m sharing something deeply personal, and something many women quietly navigate alone. This is part one of my HPV and cervical dysplasia journey, including abnormal PAP tests, CIN 2 diagnoses, colposcopies, and the moment I chose to step out of fear-based decision-making and into a more embodied, holistic approach to healing. Inside this episode, I share: How long this journey has been unfolding and why I’m sharing it now Navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, and medical recommendations without shame or panic The moment I walked out of a scheduled LEEP procedure, and why The protocols, practices, and lifestyle shifts I’m currently using to support my body How embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality have become part of my healing process This episode is not medical advice, it’s my lived experience, shared for women who want to feel informed, empowered, and sovereign in their health choices. If you’re navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, or feeling overwhelmed by medical pressure, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and choose from grounded self-trust rather than fear. This is part one of my story. Part two will come when my body completes this chapter.

    S4 Ep129 - Pressure Does Not Equal Pleasure: How Sex Pressure Quietly Kills Desire (and What Actually Restores It)

    If sex has started to feel heavy, pressured, or like something you should be doing instead of something you genuinely want, this episode is for you. Many women in long-term relationships still enjoy sex, but feel disconnected from desire, sensation, or ease. Not because something is wrong with them or their relationship, but because pressure has quietly crept into intimacy. In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways couples put pressure on sex, from frequency expectations, to orgasm chasing, to the unspoken guilt that builds over time, and why that pressure actually shuts pleasure down. You’ll learn: Why pressure is read by your nervous system as a threat, not an invitation How the “ticking clock” and orgasm focus sabotage desire — even when attraction is there Why this isn’t a libido problem, a hormone problem, or a communication failure How pressure impacts both partners — and creates avoidance, resentment, and disconnection What actually creates the conditions for desire, connection, and pleasure to return This is a grounded, honest conversation for real women in real relationships — not sex tips, performance advice, or quick fixes. We’re talking about embodiment, nervous system safety, and responsibility without self-blame. If you’re ready to stop forcing intimacy and start creating space for pleasure to breathe again, this episode will meet you right where you are. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: S4 Ep 114 – Why Your Nervous System Is a Key Part of Having Better Sex Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep-114-pt-1-why-your-nervous-system-is-a-key/id1645171635?i=1000725690890 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/52wUxB8AbMsoXM88ahcMif?si=hn4AfQ9sQ_KT_Fc47Asz9Q S4 Ep 115 – The Hidden Nervous System Patterns Blocking Your Pleasure Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep-115-pt-2-the-hidden-nervous-system-patterns/id1645171635?i=1000727102675 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/57sVo4ByvVhKf8dYXr2Nt5?si=Zj1gf9ULRR23WWVidZ3K0A S4 Ep 112 – Erotic Talk vs Dirty Talk: How to Use Your Voice for Deeper Pleasure Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep112-erotic-talk-vs-dirty-talk-how-to-use-your/id1645171635?i=1000723577728 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5S4FYaiRojnBqxwzdwwn7R?si=p3NcBat_SYiBH7ucvLGQWA S4 Ep 122 – How Taking Sex Off The Table Can Reignite Desire Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep122-how-taking-sex-off-the-table-can-reignite-desire/id1645171635?i=1000735196491 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MY9JiNSiItpOP0qbW6IQD?si=3lA1dzvuTMqAcBkbAJPoaA 5-Day Sensual Embodiment Challenge (free): https://janninemackinnon.com/challenge Complimentary Coaching Consultation (lock in current pricing before January 5th): https://janninemackinnon.com/connect

    S4 Ep128 - Spontaneous vs Responsive Desire What Every Woman Needs to Know

    So many women believe they’ve “lost” their desire… but most of the time, it hasn’t disappeared at all. In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, we’re breaking down the difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire — and why this one shift in understanding can bring instant relief, more confidence, and a clear path forward (without forcing yourself, faking it, or waiting around for desire to magically strike). You’ll hear why long-term love, busy life seasons, stress, and emotional disconnection can make desire feel distant — and how to start working with your body again so that flicker can build into a turned-on, satisfied sex life. In this episode, you’ll learn: The key difference between spontaneous vs. responsive desire (and why most women are responsive) Why “Are you in the mood?” often shuts desire down — and what to ask instead The role of nervous system safety, emotional connection, and subconscious conditioning in libido Practical ways to build anticipation, set the stage, and support your desire to blossom 3 tangible tools to try: anticipation + stage-setting + erotic blueprints + yoni breathing If you’re realizing there’s more underneath the surface — stress, safety patterns, old conditioning, or relationship dynamics — I’d love to support you. I’m currently refining my coaching containers after hundreds of hours of advanced training and 4 new certifications, and pricing increases for 2026.

    S4 Ep125 - Vibrators vs. Sacred Sexuality: Why Vibing One Out Isn’t the Same as Embodied Pleasure

    Most of us learned to grab the vibrator, get off fast, and move on — a quick fix for stress or tension. But that “vibe and go” approach only scratches the surface of what your pleasure is capable of. In this episode, Jannine breaks down the difference between a quick release and a sacred sexuality practice that expands your energy, rewires your beliefs, and connects you to something divine inside your body. You’ll learn how slowing down and bringing presence into pleasure can completely transform your confidence, your relationships, and the way you show up in life. Inside this episode: Why “quick release” patterns keep you stuck in surface-level pleasure How removing the orgasm goal deepens sensitivity and satisfaction The easiest way to bring your whole body into the experience A simple pleasure-based method for rewiring your nervous system and expanding your confidence If you’ve been craving more depth, aliveness, and connection — this conversation will show you that what you’re seeking isn’t out there… it’s already within you.

    S4 Ep123 - Self Love That Reignites Pleasure with Monique Carmela

    Self-love isn’t a pep talk—it’s the foundation that makes pleasure possible. In this intimate conversation, Monique Carmela and I get practical about dissolving shame, regulating your nervous system, and letting desire return—especially in long-term relationships and real-life seasons like motherhood and stress. We unpack why “doing more” often backfires, how curiosity and compassion soften resistance, and how tiny self-devotions (breath in bed, shower rituals, a five-minute hand massage) build momentum without pressure. You’ll learn how to reframe “pleasure practice” as simple “time for me,” create a weekly devotional that actually fits your life, and expand your capacity to feel—so you naturally expand your capacity for pleasure and connection. You’ll learn: A body-based approach to self-love that calms your nervous system How to meet shame and resistance without shutting down Micro-practices you can weave into busy days Why devotion beats discipline for sustainable intimacy Resources mentioned: Guest: Monique Carmela — The Good Girl Unleashed podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/6grEys2iLKkDcPv3zKmAnP @moniquecarmela.love moniquecarmela.com Free 5-Day Sensual Embodiment Challenge: https://janninemackinnon.com/5-day-sensual-embodiment-challenge/ Membership: Sensual Embodiment Collective (ongoing guided practices): https://janninemackinnon.com/sensual-embodiment-collective/
